My favorite phrases... that I used to hear my parents say...

My sister mentioned on her blog that she is now using phrases that we used to hear our parents use. Things like:

...my ole stomping grounds...


That got me to thinking. What are my common phrases that I adopted from my parents? What are yours??

Some of mine:

...come to Jesus meeting... (not really one of my parents' phrases but I like it anyway)
... preaching to the choir...
...I tole you... (said by momma when she was right about something)
... because I said so...
...hmmph...
...this hurts me more than it hurts you...(said by daddy right before he was about to beat the tar out of me)
...beat the tar out of me or you or something...
...you can make it bettah for cheapah... (said by Popo)
...it ain't crooked - your head's crooked...
...down the road a piece...
...stomping grounds...
... turn grace... (it means to say the blessing before a meal)



Gary's phrases:
... don't make me stop this car...


So, are we the only ones becoming our parents??
